    Get in person lessons. You’ll learn more in 2 weeks than in 1 year of trying to teach yourself.

    It took me 25 years before I took a lesson and I wish I’d done it sooner.

    Come as You Are by Nirvana is a good one to start with.

    Your fingers will hurt. That’s good. They’ll toughen up if you push through it.

      Bingo!

      I’ve played since junior school (1980’s). Since then I just learnt songs best I could but never very well. 4 years ago I got an instructor. More than anything this forces you to practice. I’m now almost proud of my own guitar skills, so this year I treated myself to a beautiful Taylor guitar.

      I don’t have the money.

      “oh but you bought a guitar” is not the same paying 30 bucks for a guitar than paying an obligatory fee in the hundreds of euro for something I don’t have that much Interest

        YouTube is your friend of course. But the main thing is practice often. Your fingers will hurt but they will get better.

        Learn pentatonic scales. And music theory is worth learning as well, but start with easy songs you actually want to play.
